Does anyone know if Stardrops will remove dried bloodstains on fabric?

I have just used my stardrops on another item with great success.
we have a victorian slate fire surround with painted marble effect.
It was in a sorry state when we moved in as the previous ownes were heavy smokers and light cleaners!
I have until now only ever cleaned it with a damp cloth dipped in very mild detegent as this was the advice given to me.
I decided to give stardrops a go (tested on a small none visable part first)
it has removed all the grime without removing the hand painting.
the flowers that I always thought were cream coloured are in fact pure white.
it looks fantastic.

Yes it will be with the ordinary vinegar - well it is in A's and S'burys. It might be their own brand or Sarsons distilled vinegar. Don't get pickling vinegar

What happens if you get the pickling vinegar?

OK... please don't hate me, but, what is it with the tiny bottles of vinegar over here?! In America, you can buy it by the gallon at any grocery store. Much cheaper that way. It keeps me from really using vinegar, to be honest. It just doesn't seem that cost effective to buy it one liter at a time.

Thats definately right! Stardrops advert started with "A Stardrops work is never done" but I cant remember any more!

I love stardrops for my stainless steel cooker hood and back splash. I tried everything but it leaves it streak free and sparkling.
I am also house training my puppy and i use it to clean the laminate.
I use it for everything, thanks to this forum and i have just bought some for the stainless steel sinks at work too

1. Buy some cheap onions and pickle them.

2. We're just a much smaller, much more urbanised country. The shops are never that far away. The "ethnic" (ie. Indian, Chinese) stores seem to stock larger containers, though.

Is there anything else you think that you ought to be telling us?

Shirt was ruined from a nosebleed whilst on holiday, couldn't wash it for a few days and would like to rescue it, is all!

Have you tried a cold water soak?
